Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat paid tribute at Amar Jawan Jyoti on the occasion of 72nd Infantry Day on Saturday. Speaking to mediapersons, General Bipin Rawat said Pakistan is fully aware that they can never succeed, terror is another way by them to keep the pot boiling.

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said cancellation of talks with Pakistan is the right decision as Indian government’s policy is that talks and terrorism can’t take place together and Pakistan has to prove with their actions that they aren’t promoting terrorism.“I think the government has taken the right decision that terrorism & peace talks cannot be held together,”Rawat said.

In his keynote address, Gen Rawat said, "Our security policy flows from two basic cardinals. That is, we have no extra-territorial ambitions and we have no desire to transplant our ideologies on others."
